WM. C. BECKERT, 101 AND 103 FEDERAL ST., NORTH SIDE, PITTSBURG, PA. • Flower Seeds 



Nasturtiums 



TALL {Tropaeolum Majus) HHA 



These popular flowering plants thrive in a poor, dry soil, making a quick growth, 

 and are very useful for screening or quickly covering waste spots, etc. The colors are 

 nigh indescribable. Some of the newer varieties present most gorgeous colors. The 

 variegated section will also be found elegant, in some the foliage having gold, in 

 others silver variegation; being very ornamental, even before the beautiful contrast 

 with flowers is presented. The flowers are highly prized for cutting, possessing a distinct 

 penetrating aromatic odor that is very agreeable and refreshing. Grows 6 to 8 or 10 ft.

_ DWARF, or TOM THUMB (Indian Cress) 



Most excellent bedding plants, so popular that they need but a 

 word in their behalf. They seem to thrive best in a poor, rather 

 dry soil, which disposes to less and smaller foliage and more bloom, 

 while the flowers are seen to better advantage. Rich ground will 

 produce a very strong growth, tending to throw the flowering season 

 quite late. Their value for cut-flowers is one of their chief merits, 

 the spiciness of the odor being evidently agreeable to all. The new 

 variegated forms are the result of great care in selection.
